Hands:

Shaun Deeb

After a player opened the action, Shaun Deeb three-bet from the small blind. Max Heinzelmann four-bet from the big blind, and the original raiser folded. Deeb five-bet, and Heinzelmann shoved for about 220,000 total. Deeb snap called with pocket aces and was up against A-6 off suit. The flop brought a six and the river brought another one, crippling Deeb to just 20,000 and propelling the European to about 440,000. Deeb was eliminated shortly thereafter.

Sorel Mizzi Takes out an Opponent

Sorel Mizzi opened a pot from the hi-jack and then one opponent moved all in for 30,000. Mizzi made the call and they flipped over their cards:

Mizzi: A K
Opponent: K Q

Board: A J 5 K 3

Mizzi took out his opponent and he increased his chip stack to 150,000.

Lee Watkinson Eliminated

Lee Watkinson was once up to 90,000, but then had his K-K lose to A-Q, and then he got the last of his chips into the middle after flopping a pair of aces, but lost to Q-Q when his opponent hit trips on the river.

Todd Brunson Doubles

Todd Brunson flopped a straight and flush draw in a three-way pot. He moved all in and was called by an opponent holding aces. Brunson hit his draw on the turn and doubled to 150,000.

Noah Boeken Eliminated

In a blind-versus-blind scenario, Noah Boeken got his stack in with A-9 against Q-2. Unfortunately for Boeken his opponent hit a pair of queens and sent him packing.

Galen Hall Eliminates a Player

Galen Hall held A-Q and called an 11-big-blind shove from a short stack. His opponent held a dominated ace and Hall held to bring his chip stack to about 200,000.

Jonathan Little Short

Jonathan Little ran his A-K into K-9 on K-9-X-X-X board. Fortunately Little was able to avoid going broke and sits with 45,000.

Boeken is King

He now has more than 72,000 in chips.

Schulman Takes A Pot As Floor Is Called

Picking up the action on fourth street, the player in seat 4 bet 300 and Nick Schulman made the call, as did Michael Binger. On fifth street, Binger led out with 600 and received two calls.

All three players checked on sixth street and it was time to deal the river. This is when things went screwy. The dealer was about to deal Binger’s card face up, but caught himself before he did and dealt it face down.

“I saw the card,” Schulman said as he was sitting to the dealer’s immediate right. Binger’s card, the 8, was turned face up while the other two players received their cards face down. They kept them seperate from their other two hole cards as the floor was called over.

The floor ruled that since Binger’s was the first card dealt face up, all three would be turned face up. Schulman then bet 600 while showing 52Q2(6X-X).

Both opponents folded and Schulman took in the pot.

Stud/8

Fricke Scoops Seiver

Picking up the action on sixth street, Jimmy Fricke and Scott Seiver each checked their option with their boards showing the following:

Fricke: 44AK
Seiver: 284Q

On seventh street, Fricke bet 600 and Seiver threw in a hesitant call. Fricke then turned over A37 for aces-up and Seiver mucked, surrendering an early pot to Fricke.

Baker Chops It Up

Picking up the action on sixth street, the player in seat 8 bet 600 and David Baker made the call. On seventh, seat 8 bet another 600 and Baker tagged along again.

Seat 8 turned over a 7-5 low for the low end of the pot while Baker showed QQ, good enough to take the high end of the pot. Baker was around 35,000 after the hand.

Hold’Em

Ramdin Looks Up Fitoussi

Picking up the action on the flop of JJ8, Victor Ramdin bet 300 and Bruno Fitoussi made the call.

The turn was the 3 and both players checked. The river was the 4 and Fitoussi took a stab at the pot, leading with 600.

Ramdin threw in the quick call and Fitoussi nodded his head, showing 109 for a busted straight draw. Ramdin tabled A7 for ace-high and it was good to take down the pot.

Boeken Takes One Down

Picking up the action on the flop, the board read 1065. Noah Boeken and the player in seat 6 each put in three bets before they saw the 3 on the turn.

Boeken continued the betting, firing 600 into the pot. Seat 6 quickly released his hand and Boeken took down a nice pot.

Boeken showed 88 while Thuritz held 108.

The turn was the 3, harmless to Boeken. But the river was the 10, giving Thuritz his miracle full house and the double up to 290,000. Boeken was hammered down to 90,000.

A few hands later, Boeken was down to his last 60,000 and put it in preflop against Sam Stein. Boeken held AQ while Stein held 33.

The board ran out K10685 and Boeken doubled to 128,000.

Shawn Keller Sent Upriver

Picking up the action after a flop of 86, Shawn Keller and Alexander Kuzmin got into it hard, eventually resulting in Keller having all of his chips in the middle.

Keller was sitting pretty with QQ while Kuzmin held AK. The turn was the 7, offering no help to Kuzmin.

But the K on the river gave Kuzmin the pot and sent Keller to the rail. Kuzmin was at 340,000.

Boeken Busts Early After Dinner Break

Noah Boeken was short on chips and moved all in pre-flop for 600 against the man who won 2 WSOP bracelet in 2009, Brock Parker. Their hands:

Parker: A8
Boeken: Q2

The board ran 10810109 and Boeken was gone.

Parker was in good shape, with 38,500 after the hand.

Deeb Hits The Straight

After one raise from Stefan Huber and another from Nikolay Evdakov, Shaun Deeb re-raised it yet again and both opponents called.

On a flop of 234 action checked to Deeb, who bet, then Huber check-raised. Deeb called by Evdakov folded.

On both the 5 turn and 10 river, Huber checked, Deeb bet and Huber called.

Deeb showed AQ for the wheel, and Huber mucked.

The pot pushed Deeb to around 76,000 in chips.

Galfond Gets Broadwayed

On a flop of 5KQ Justin Bonomo checked to Phil Galfond, then check-raised after Galfond bet.

Bonomo bet again on the J turn and J river, and Galfond called both times.

Bonomo showed A10 for a turned straight, and Galfond mucked.

The win put Bonomo around 36,000 in chips, while Galfond fell to 28,000.
